Book Review

«The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Buratino» by Alexei Tolstoy is a vivid example of adapting Carlo Collodi's classic Italian fairy tale «The Adventures of Pinocchio» for a Russian audience. Critics note that Tolstoy managed to create a unique work that not only preserves the spirit of the original but also enriches it with new characters and plot lines. The book contains many allegories and satirical elements, making it interesting for both children and adults. Special attention is given to the character of Buratino, who, despite his flaws, shows cleverness and kindness. Critics also emphasize the importance of the theme of finding one's place in life and the pursuit of freedom, making the work relevant even today.
